THE GOD.

Look in my face, and know me who I am.

I smite and save; I bless, and, lo, I damn.

Incline thine head, thy browless brow incline;

I touch thee, and I tap thee, and proclaim,

For ever and for ever thou art mine!

O long as grief, and leaner than desire!

O sweet retreating breasts and amorous-kissing knees!

O grace and goodliness of strait attire!

A robe of them who sport in summer seas.
